Section 49 (2) states: “Corporal punishment may be administered where no other punishment is considered suitable or effective, and only by the principal, deputy principal or any teacher appointed in writing by the principal for that purpose, in a manner which is in conformity with the guidelines issued in writing by the Chief Education Officer.” The Magistrate Code of Procedure (chap. 26) of 1961 also sanctions corporal punishment.
El párrafo 2 del artículo 49 dice así: "Se podrán administrar castigos físicos si ningún otro castigo se considera apropiado o eficaz, y únicamente por manos del director, subdirector u otro docente designado por escrito por el director con ese objeto, de forma que se cumplan las directrices consignadas por el Director de Educación".
